2019 NFL Draft Player Profile: Brandon Jones

PROS: Sideline to sideline range, and has a nose for the ball. Possesses good closing speed to go along with his ideal NFL frame. Closes space down on ball carriers, safe tackler who understands how and when to gather his feet and wrap up. Open field tackling and technique is a weapon. Experience being brought as a blitzer and as a deep safety. Solid man coverage ability who can match up against a variety of offensive weapons.

CONS: Despite being rangy, he can get lost while tracking the ball and will decide to play the man even when there’s potential to make a play on the ball. Multiple lapses in coverage. Too often let receivers cross his face downfield and win inside. Jumped crossing routes which resulted in receivers having opportunities over his head. Need to be a better decision maker because the talent and athleticism is already there for him.
